Mike has his hands full trying to color-match a car with no paint code.

Mike and Ant welcome to the workshop a 1974 Fiat X1/9, a zippy little mid-engine sports car with superb balance and a distinctive paint color. It's a perfect entry-level classic car.

The Boxster is the car that saved Porsche from going out of business when recession hit in the 90s.

Mike goes to France in search of a retro-cool Citroen HY Van, but Edd is not impressed with his spoils, knowing it will be a costly renovation.

Edd thinks it’s got potential, but says it needs thousands more spending on it before it’ll be safe enough for a rally stage. Mike is excited, but Edd is worried about the risk of zero profit.

It doesn't start, it can't drive. But it's in great condition in every other way.

Mike and Ant drag a rare 1972 Datsun 510 2-door into the 21st century. The engine is in good order and the car itself could be quite valuable, but the paint job is awful, the gearbox is unresponsive and the bodywork leaves a lot to be desired.

It’s unloved and underpowered but after Edd lavishes some care and attention on the car, will the smart engine fixes and custom handling package spell profit on a Porsche that is still major money?

Everyone has heard of the high-selling MGB but the car that came before it – the MGA – is the one Mike wants to track down for the U.S. workshop. Why? Because it looks great, goes around corners well, and sells for high prices. When Mike tracks down a California car for restoration he thinks it will be easy for Edd – just a few cosmetic jobs. But this isn’t the way Edd sees things and the result will surprise some hardcore MG fans. To make matters worse, he refuses to stick to Mike’s low budget. Sparks will fly!
